Óbidos is a picturesque, well-preserved medieval town located near the central coast of Portugal. This beautiful town feels like a step back in time with its narrow cobblestone streets (cars cannot drive through!), fortified walls and enchanting castle.

Cascais is located at the coastal end of Sintra, often called the Portuguese Riviera. Here you’ll find grand 19th century villas, historic monuments and turquoise beaches. Also known for its shopping, and outdoor activities like surfing, paragliding and rock climbing.

Sintra is a lush, hilly region outside Lisbon in which our hotel is located. Home to several palaces, fairy-tale castles, museums, enchanting gardens, historical monuments, and forest hiking trails. We’ll visit Pena Palace, Moor Castle and Quinta de Regaleira (above).

Nazaré is about 90 minutes from Sintra, on Portugal’s Silver Coast. Famous for its giant waves (the biggest in the world October-February) and beautiful beaches, charm, surf museum, and historical monuments.

Lisbon is Portugal’s coastal capital city, compact and bustling with cobblestone streets which makes it easy to get around on foot. Plenty of opportunities to shop, explore historical monuments and a palace await!

Other fun activities during your retreat, aside from additional visits to nearby points of interests or museums, include hiking, shopping, mountain biking, surfing, beach time, massages, wine-tasting and more!
